You can receive bug notifications, merge proposals, questions, etc. by subscribing to them even if you aren't a member of a -core group. It's kind of a manual one-time process that you have to do in a number of different places. At the very least we should document the steps to get all the relevant notifications. > I am happy to be involved closely with the community, including helping with > blueprints and roadmaps and so on, but I don't intend to do much coding and > much code reviewing, as it's more likely that one of my team would do the > actual coding.

Possibly there's a way to set up a separate group that you can optionally join to get all notifications (it's a LOT)--I'm not familiar enough with Launchpad to know how that might work.
